I have been trying to adjust to the change to eBird which automatically calculates duration based on track distance. When I try to update the duration having birded longer than expected, or less than expected, it won't allow it while using the app but "insists" on retaining only the duration of the recorded track distance.
I have repeatedly had to make "checklist notes" of the actual duration while the duration entered with the checklist is wrong. My note of the real duration is meant for me, so I can go back and change the duration on my desktop computer since the app won't allow it. However, I know that I will not remember to do this very often.
